The Law and Finance of Corporate Acquisitions (University Casebook Series)

Gilson and Black have assembled the authoritative casebook for students interested in the field, professors teaching it, and practitioners who need some context.One could read the "other" M & A book by Carney, but one could also drink weak tea. Neither would be satisfactory. The book is not for the faint of heart. The authors do not even cite a case for a couple hundred pages. The book endeavors to really teach what one needs if an understanding of this complex field of law is what is truely sought after. Therefore, it starts with a primer in economic theory and practices. Get out a calculator because if you went to law school to escape them, you were wrong. This is an highly important, and now, rare book. Both because it has been increasingly hard to find, and because the current trend in legal casebooks has been to water everything down. This book rasies the bar to a level other casebooks, students, teachers, and practitioners of law should strive to achieve.
